Throughout my career I have seen that although great minds may think alike, brilliant minds spark innovation when connected. On Tuesday June 14th, the White House will convene the first-ever United State of Women Summit to mark the progress made by and for women and girls domestically and internationally, and to discuss solutions to the challenges they still face. I am honored to join President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and key players advancing the state of women and girls all over the world for conversations on building inclusive movements and engaged citizens, and empowering women and girls in STEM.

There is too much left to be done to build a more equitable world for women and girls for any of us to work in isolation. I believe that our ability to achieve change is refined and its impact is multiplied through exposure to a diversity of people also working for change. This is the purpose for the United State of Women Summit and I couldn't be more excited to join so many game-changing, history-making women to celebrate our achievements and chart a course for future prosperity.
